Okay,
My previous question was asking gow to housebreak a dog.
Many people told me to use the crate method.i have no idea how to do that! and also, one person told me to keep her in a crate till i got home. Well, I still go to school and thats 7 hours a day...i dnt feel right to leave her in a crate for 7 hours a day...what should I do??
Answers:
You have 2 options.crate her for 7 hours, or let her roam the house for 7 hours. First of all, they'd really rather be in a crate confined to one area, than to hve the 'run of the house' cause having all of that freedom and room can actually make a dog pretty nervous.
When you put her in the kennel before school, make sure the last 2 things you do before you walk out the door is get her to go potty, and put her in her crate. Don't talk to her in a squeaky voice, like 'I'm sorry I have to be gone for so long, but I'll hurry home!' That makes them nervous too!
Just be matter of fact sounding about it when you tell her goodbye. You may have to practice that before you try it on her for real! BUT.here's the thing. She needs a couple of toys she LIKES in with her.
First make sure the crate has a blanket in it so she's comfy. Also, if you've noticed her with a 'special' toy, put that in with her. Then...this will be her favorite.get a KONG. Do you know what that is?? If not, go to the doggy toy aisle at Walmart, or whereever. You will see a Kong. It's made of super hard rubber, so they can chew on it forever and not do much damage to it! You'll see it has a little hole on one end and a big hole on the other end. In that big hole, put a couple of treats in it for her, but ones that are big enough they won't fall out. Kind of shove themdown in there, and when you leave, she'll be busy playing with the kong trying to get the treats out! If she doesn't respond to it at first, put a bit of peanut butter inside of it so her tongue can get it, and she'll get the hang of it! Good luck!
just lock her in a crate for 5 minutes at a time and when she doesnt whine praise her. then when you feed her and water her after 5-10 mintutes take her outside to do her buisness one she does it praise her again and let her playaround for 20-30 mins then put her back in the crate for a while.
thats how i potty trained my dogs
